Chicago Bulls: 3 players that outlived their welcome in the Windy City

There’s a good number of players on the current Chicago Bulls roster that should go soon to get this rebuild going in a more successful direction.

Soon the Chicago Bulls will have to figure out what their plan is for the looming free agent cycle, which the beginning if just around the corner for this offseason. The Bulls don’t have any enormous contracts up this offseason, but there are a few crucial decisions the team will have to make to decipher the picture of the 15-man roster construction for next season.

Most of the impending free agents the Bulls have this offseason are those players that are about to enter restricted free agency. The decisions made in that regard for the new front office personnel will be a telling sign for the plans of the franchise heading into the fourth year of the rebuild.

That started by demoting John Paxson to a senior advisor role and hiring former Denver Nuggets general manager Arturas Karnisovas to be the next lead voice in the front office. Former Philadelphia 76ers senior vice president of player personnel Marc Eversley is also set to replace Gar Forman as the Bulls next general manager.

Former head coach Jim Boylen is now out the door too. With a coaching search underway, another big task on the plate of the new front office personnel is figuring out which players are worth letting go this offseason.

Here’s a look into the three players that have already outstayed their welcome with the Bulls after last season.
